Overview

Lists the current Constituencies for the IWU Portal, including the criteria used to determine membership for each and the data owners responsible for those criteria.

Current Constituencies

IWU has 6 constituencies used with the IWU Portal. Each constituency has its own home page within the Portal. Members of a constituency will see that constituency's home page immediately after logging into the Portal.

Each constituency has its own rank. When a user is a member of more than one constituency, when they log in they will see the home page for the constituency with the lowest rank number of all the constituencies to which they belong. They will still have access to the home pages for their other constituencies via the HOME menu.

The below table lists the 6 constituencies currently in use for the IWU Portal:

Constituency Roles

A user becomes a member of a constituency when he/she is assigned to a role that is associated with that constituency.

Automatically Maintained Roles

There are currently 6 "constituency roles" that are being automatically assigned and unassigned in order to maintain appropriate constituency access for the majority of Portal users.

The below table lists the automatically maintained roles:

The Data Owners column lists who is responsible for working with UIT to make sure the membership criteria for the role are appropriate and reliable.

The Membership Criteria column explains what Colleague data the system uses to automatically determine which people should be added to or removed from the role each day.

The Colleague Screens column lists the Colleague screen mnemonics that can be accessed to view the data used by the membership criteria.

WARNING !

If you use AROR or BURA to assign one of the automatically maintained constituency roles to an individual manually, they will be automatically removed from that role and constituency the following morning if they do not meet the Membership Criteria at that time.

The only way to securely establish an individual's membership in a constituency is to make sure that their records meet the appropriate Membership Criteria below. If changes in the Membership Criteria are required, a project request must be submitted to UIT.

Note
Criteria for membership in a constituency role must be at least 95% accurate. Criteria that are less than 95% accurate may only be used with special permission from the Portal Governance Team.

Person has a current HR status that is not "STU" (student worker)

Note: Since the process that automatically assigns these roles runs every evening, the logic considers an HR status "current" on the day prior to its start date. This ensures that the employee will be assigned the role and included in the constituency by the morning of his/her start date.

Manually Maintained Roles

In addition to the automatically maintained roles used for controlling the constituency membership of the majority of Portal users, there are also a few manually maintained roles used to grant constituency membership.

The below table lists the manually maintained roles:

The Associated Constituency column shows which constituency will be granted to users when they are assigned the role.

The Data Owners column lists who is responsible for making sure these roles are assigned and unassigned to users at the appropriate times.

The No Constituency Page

When an IWU community member logs into the Portal but does not have any constituencies, he/she will see a special "No Constituency" page containing contact info for several offices depending on the constituency to which he/she should belong.
